I’m getting rid of my cable and switching to streaming. I have 2 roku+ sticks and very happy with them.
now want to replace the Xfinity box and voice remote on the main tv.
LG TV, LG Soundbar. I tried connecting one of my roku sticks but found it can’t control the sound bar.
I want an easy solution for the main tv that will result in a single remote that has voice, and can control TV and Soundbar and the roku. Or do I need to find a different solution?
Help!!!
Sorry but you'll need a different solution. Roku remotes only control TV's, it's up to the TV to control the soundbar by Hdmi-cec. The roku remotes have voice search feature, it's not voice activated remote.
That’s a real shame if so. I thought I had read where someone got a universal remote to work with a LG Tv and LG soundbar and a roku. Just not a stick. So I know the stick won’t work.
the voice feature - yes for search only; is a nice to have. A must have is a single easy to use remote. That turns tv on and off, controls sound thru sound bar, and controls the roku.
you are saying there is no roku out there of any type that allows this? Guess I need to look at Amazon fire stick or others.
I need something easy single remote solution.
Look for a universal IR remote with a LEARNING feature which allows it to capture control signals from other dedicated remotes.
Unfortunately learning IR remotes won't control sticks.
Would need a learning remote and an external Roku box (e.g. express, ultra, streambar).

True. Mea culpa. The mention of sticks was 'way back the first post and I overlooked it.
